Sexual Health: Sometimes I pee a little when I have an orgasm! How can I stop?

Sometimes I pee a little when I have an orgasm! How can I stop?

As mortifying as it may be to come and go at the same time, it's not unusual. "When the uterus contracts during orgasm, it can stimulate contractions in nearby organs, including the bladder," explains Gunhilde Buchsbaum, a urogynecologist at the University of Rochester in New York. In the process, some urine may get squeezed out. You can reduce the risk of leakage by going to the bathroom before sex.

Another possibility: "There's good evidence that some women's orgasms produce a vaginal fluid that's not urine," she notes. Sometimes called female ejaculation, this orgasmic release tends to occur when a woman's G spot is stimulated, and it's perfectly natural.
